Patience by Nas
[Intro: Nas]
Here we are
Here we are
Yeah
This one right here is for the people
[Hook]x2
Sabali, sabali, sabali yonkote
Sabali, sabali, sabali kiye
Ni k�ra m�g�
[Interlude: Nas]
Hey yo D
Let's go all the way in on this one
[Verse 1: Damian Marley]
Some of the smartest dummies
Can't read the language of Egyptian mummies
An' a fly go a moon
And can't find food for the starving tummies
Pay no mind to the youths
Cause it's not like the future depends on it
But save the animals in the zoo
Cause the chimpanzee dem a make big money
This is how the media pillages
On the TV the picture is
Savages in villages
And the scientist still can't explain the pyramids, huh
Evangelists making a living on the videos of ribs of
the little kids
Stereotyping the image of the images
And this is what the image is
You buy a khaki pants
And all of a sudden you say a Indiana Jones
An' a thief out gold and thief out the scrolls and even
the buried bones
Some of the worst paparazzis I've ever seen and I ever
known
Put the worst on display so the world can see
And that's all they will ever show
So the ones in the West
Will never move East
And feel like they could be at home
Dem get tricked by the beast
But a where dem ago flee when the monster is fully
grown?
Solomonic linage whe dem still can't defeat and them
coulda never clone
My spiritual DNA that print in my soul and I will
forever Own Lord
[Hook]x2
[Interlude: Nas]
Yeah, Sabali. that's patience. That's what the old
folks told me
Discovering the World before this World. A World buried
in time
Uncover with rhymes. It gets no realer
[Verse 2: Damian Marley]
Huh, we born not knowing, are we born knowing all?
We growing wiser, are we just growing tall?
Can you read thoughts? can you read palms?
Huh, can you predict the future? can you see storms,
coming?
The Earth was flat if you went too far you would fall
off
Now the Earth is round
If the shape change again everybody woulda start laugh
The average man can't prove of most of the things
